Summary
Believers are commanded to lower their gaze from what is forbidden, based on Surah al-Nur verses 30 and 31. The self inclines towards evil, so it must be controlled through mujahadah. Its forms include keeping company with righteous friends, not giving the self an opportunity to sin, and replacing negative things with positive activities such as charity work and attending religious classes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nafsu ini dikawal dengan proses mujahadah.
